Internal Strength session with @strongstylebrit and @cezarbononi_

Internal Strength sessions focus on training anatomy, not just exercises. PAILS and RAILS for IR, CARs to failure, bicep curls at max shoulder extension and cable horizontal adduction to failure. This type of training gives the body the ability to express external strength but addressing the prerequisites of strength.

Just ask the boys. They felt what this was doing.

Have you done something that just absolutely pushe

Have you done something that just absolutely pushed you to your limit recently?

You need a little of that in your training but we have to pay attention to risk/reward ratios when doing it. That’s what makes the battle rope so effective. High reward, low risk.

Semi private clients have been working on 1:00 max rounds with 1:00 rest to push anaerobic threshold and also, challenge them mentally.

It’s awesome to see these guys working so hard!

“Weak things Break.”-Louise Simmons

Expanding ranges and then training those ranges specific to my biology. Loved using the bench in this session as a tactile cue for any compensations in my spine during shoulder focused movements. Thoracic extension to make up for inadequate shoulder mechanics is a common issue I see. It helps to add a bench or some sort of tactile cue to keep the midline irradiated while working thru the shoulder.
This workout pretty much trained all of the “stuff” associated with the shoulder including some bicep work in shoulder extension and triceps work at different angles of radioulnar rotation.

Teaching the kettlebell swing requires breaking do

Teaching the kettlebell swing requires breaking down the individual aspects to build proper hinge mechanics, how to create a explosive power (ballistics) and the mechanics of the hike. Once those individuals aspects are addressed, then it’s time to “swing away.”

Earn each progression and work toward mastery before progressing to the next step.

Coaches, use these progressions for clients and don’t progress them until they have mastered each individual aspect. They are:
1) Deadlift
2) Deadlift to Triple Extension
3) Explosive Deadlift
4) Chest supported hinge (fast concentric/slow eccentric)
5) Chest supported hinge (fast eccentric/slow concentric)
6) Chest supported swing
7) Hike
8) Deadstop swing
9) Deadstop swing to continuous swings

Hop Switch Rip Press supersetted with Rotary Single Arm Kettlebell Swings.

Life requires rotation. Add it to your training.
TRX Rip Trainer and Kettlebell are perfect modalities for that.

The TRX Suspension Trainer and TRX Rip Trainer are like peanut butter and jelly.

Perfect compliments to each other. Take these two combinations for spin if you feel like you’ve earned these progressions.

1) Suspended Lateral Lunge and Slap Shot
2) Suspended bottom up lunge and high strike

Sport specific vectors of force and sport specific

Sport specific vectors of force and sport specific training is not the same. This might seem like semantics but it’s important to distinguish the two.

Vectors of force specific to a sport can help establish strength specific to the needs of the sport. They are geared toward giving you the prerequisites to compete in your sport. These vectors work toward establishing a baseline of biomechanics that can carry over to the acquisition of skills needed for the sport and help keep the body resilient for the repetitive nature of a sport.

Problem I see is people confuse this as sport specific training. It is not and let me explain why.

What you see in the video is not the clients swing. He even mentioned “this isn’t my swing.” I replied “It is not. It’s not supposed to be.”
You cannot fully recreate a “swing” in a weight room setting. You cannot fully recreate a throwing motion in a weight room setting.
You cannot recreate a “tackling” motion in a weight room setting.
Yet we see fitness personalities and “strength” coaches coming up with complex movements to recreate sport motions in the weight room. This is a problem.

One, the repetitive nature of sport lends itself to overuse injuries especially with traditional training inputs. They get enough volume in their sport itself. Second, the velocities associated with sport can not be replicated. Can you do high velocity based training in the weight room? For sure. You can try to match it but it won’t match.
Finally, skill acquisition in sport is multi factorial and training one specific way of doing something under load in the weight room may create an unwanted adaptation.

So, strength coaches hear me. Work on giving your athletes the internal elements needed for their sport, help them to get stronger and more resilient after, work on strengthening them in vectors of force necessary for their sport as baselines, but stop trying to replicate sport movements in the weight room. You’re doing the field a disservice, your athletes a disservice and that style of training is a gimmick, not science.

This has been my Ted talk.

Address prerequisites.
Train internally.
Load appropriately.
Feel good, move well.
Rinse and repeat.

*The rotational suspended lateral lunge is a glute killer in the best way possible. Approach with caution. Add bicep curls in because, you know, arms.

Don’t miss out on explosive upper body strength

Don’t miss out on explosive upper body strength in your program.

Jammer provides high reward, low risk ability to achieve that. Go barefoot for extra explosiveness and ground connection.

Don’t have one? Grab a few suspension trainers or straps and go to work.

Great work here by @maheshchaddah

Functional training should address biology, indivi

Functional training should address biology, individual physiology, and day to day tasks associated with the individual. Otherwise, it isn’t functional.

Our time in the weight room shouldn’t be just to train 7-8 vectors of force. We need the capacity to absorb and create force across all elements of human biology. The things we see break commonly are those we do not train. Weak things break.

Using the internal strength model from @functional_range_conditioning has been eye opening and caused drastic changes in both day to day mobility and strength.

Following the lead or @mosesbernard and @strangegrayson, I’ve started to build resilience in the spine. I can tell you, I’ve never felt better. Thank you gentlemen for pushing me, challenging me and inspiring me without even knowing it.
